Explanation
Background: The City is the owner of certain real property along the riverbank, located in the vicinity of Dublin Road, Davidson Road, and Griggs Reservoir. It was discovered that a permanent structure, specifically a concrete and stone wall, currently encroaches upon the City’s real property. The owners of the encroaching structure, Ryan V. Briggs and Mary C. Briggs, requested that the City grant them the right to encroach upon the City’s property. The Department of Public Utilities and Recreation and Parks Department jointly determined that the granting of a Determinable Encroachment Easement for a period of ten (10) years, subject to the easement area being used solely for the purposes as defined by the City, will not adversely affect the City and should be allowed. Upon the expiration of the ten (10) year term, the Determinable Encroachment Easement will automatically terminate and all property rights shall revert to the City. The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Watershed Management, and the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, have established the value of the encroachment easement area at One Thousand, Two Hundred Sixty-seven, and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($1,267.00). The following ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, to execute those documents necessary to grant the Determinable Encroachment Easement on behalf of the City.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation.
